Heat-tolerant maize for rainfed hot, dry environments in the lowland tropics: From breeding to improved seed delivery

Heat-tolerant maize for rainfed hot, dry environments in the lowland tropics: From breeding to improved seed delivery

Climate change-induced heat stress combines two challenges: high day- and nighttime temperatures, and physiological water deficit due to demand-side drought caused by increase in vapor-pressure deficit. It is one of the major factors in low productivity of maize in rainfed stress-prone environments...
